&ldquo;I see a multitude of physical anomalies among circumcised boys and men in my urologic practice&rdquo; said Carmack. Hammond notes, &ldquo;The medical community has never researched long-term adverse consequences of infant circumcision. Such investigation is long overdue.&rdquo; Both authors stress that adult outcomes from infant circumcision are highly individualistic and are unpredictable when imposed on newborns.</p>

&ldquo;The fact is that reduction of sensation is very valuable to many men. And I&rsquo;m not saying to all men, but to many men it is,&rdquo; states Dr. Sade, in an audio recording released by <a href="http://gotnews.com/breaking-leaked-audio-shows-doctors-association-lying-effects-circumcision-penis/">GotNews.com</a> today. &ldquo;The issue is not the degree of sensitivity. It&rsquo;s not the presence or absence of sensitive tissue. It&rsquo;s the degree of satisfaction&hellip; in people who are able to make the decisions for themselves,&rdquo; Dr. Sade heard to say in the recording.</p>

The circumcision rate for American male newborns has declined in recent years to around 50% today. This is due in part to the intactivist (intact + activist) movement, made up of individuals and organizations calling for doctors to abandon what the intactivists see as an unethical procedure. &ldquo;American Circumcision&rdquo; gives an inside view of this diverse movement.</p>
<p class="rtejustify">
&ldquo;I think viewers will be surprised by the caliber of people who are active in the movement,&rdquo; says filmmaker <a href="http://brendonmarotta.com/">Brendon Marotta</a>. &ldquo;There are some very serious, very thoughtful individuals who are looking at this issue from medical, legal, ethical and religious viewpoints.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="rtejustify">
Conte accomplished many things during his life. First and foremost, he was the lead organizer of Bay Area Intactivists. Conte was instrumental in the 2011 San Francisco MGM Bill initiative to extend the female genital mutilation law to protect children of all sexes. He also spurred me on to become more active and start the NYC Intactivists group. Conte and I kept in touch frequently and shared strategies and had ongoing projects together at the time of his death.</p>

&ldquo;While there may be a benefit for some boys in high risk populations and the procedure could be considered as a treatment or to reduce disease, in most cases, the benefits of circumcision do not outweigh the risks,&rdquo; says Dr. Thierry Lacaze, chair of the CPS Fetus and Newborn Committee.</p>

&ldquo;That&rsquo;s my favorite sign because I did not consent to male genital mutilation,&rdquo; says Frank McGinness, the man who appears on the right side of the photo holding a sign. &ldquo;I was circumcised at 4 or 5 years old. If someone chooses it for themselves, I don&rsquo;t have a problem with that. But I had no choice and a very important part of my genitals was taken from me without my consent.&rdquo;</p>
